Things I liked:The weight... gives it a pretty realistic feel.
The trigger, very easy to pull, very accurate.
Things I would have changed:A fall-out magazine would have made this gun PERFECT. Also, the handle is a bit thick... but that's just me... :P
Otherwise, very very happy with purchase. I would definitely recommend this gun

Things I liked:The size is the same as the DE 44. The block back works well and i wish it was on more umarex guns. It shoots very fast with good accuracy.
Things I would have changed:It is missing a lot of weight, it is no where close to the real thing at all. The slide release on the frame is not real, that would have been a plus

Things I would have changed:It is missing a lot of weight, it is no where close to the real thing at all. The slide release on the frame is not real, that would have been a plus. This gun deserves to have a CO system like the P99, i do not like the bright shiny brass plug in the bottom.
What others should know:A very fun gun that is worth adding to your collection. One of the best blow back guns out there!

Things I liked:THIS GUN IS AWESOME! Ever since playing Counter Strike Source (and dominating with the DE =D) I've been obsessed with the DE. I've always wanted a real one but the price tag and age restrictions in my state prevented that. This is by far the next best thing!! It's almost an exact replica with very very few minor changes (i.e. white print on the side, etc.) The wieght is very heavy in my opinion. It has an awesome solid feel to it, and its huge size makes it feel like you are toting a hand cannon. O yeah and its REALLY LOUD =) Also the power is AWESOME! I shot a pointed pellet at my wooden shed expecting to find the pellet stuck in the surface of the wood. I checked it out and was disappointed at first since i didn't see the pellet. But upon further inspection I discovered that the pellet was actually buried inside the wood! and that was from a good 15-20 yards away.
Things I would have changed:Like I said, it's really loud. It's both good and bad. I LOVE the sound but I had the neighbors nosing out their windows at me this morning which got me freaked out cuz I expected the cops to show up at anytime. Also the DE in CSS was chrome/nickle plated and that would have been fabulous if I could have gotten but it only comes in black. The CO2 usage seems a little high but really... compared to the power I guess I should have expected that.
What others should know:The CO2 system is really good. Yeah, you have to use a tool to open/close it but I would WAY rather have that than an ugly thumb screw hanging off of my otherwise perfect DE. BUY EXTRA ROTARY CLIPS! They are cheap and trust me you will wish you had them. I have 4 total and am thinking about buying some more cuz i hate stopping to shoot to reload. Incase anyone isn't familiar with rails (Like me) weaver mount accessories fit fine onto the picatinny rail. The safety is a little awkward but its true to the DE design so DONT CHANGE IT! I slapped on a green paintballing laser (~$80 from a local paintball shop) with a momentary switch electrical-taped to the handle and just so you know my gun is super sexy now. I cant wait to keep shooting it!
I would most certainly recommend this gun to anyone looking for some sa-weet power, speed, and looks. It's a great buy if you can afford it.

Things I liked:A powerful and loud gun. She's also a big beaut, who says size doesn't matter? Easy and ambadextrious design for the safety makes this baby good for lefties and righies. Super accurate.
Things I would have changed:Fairly light due to the plastic build. Blow back is light but this thing is heavy on CO2 as it is.

Things I would have changed:Fairly light due to the plastic build. Blow back is light but this thing is heavy on CO2 as it is. I can get maybe 4-5 full mags out before needing a new tank. The CO2 injection system is a bit of a pain also, I would have at least preferred a tool-less system.

Things I liked:Size, well made copy! Accuracy!!! :o) - safety is easy using. The sound (a very loud SMACK!) and the fps (which i measured to be 535fps! at one of the first shots of a fill tho).
Things I would have changed:the weight (all too light in my oppinion) and a small white print on the side that says its an airgun - in general

Things I would have changed:the weight (all too light in my oppinion) and a small white print on the side that says its an airgun - in general. I was'nt dissapointed about the plastic parts (polymer) its pretty tuff, but i WAS dissapointed with the extreme lightweight blowback, it does blowback, but you really cant feel it That much because of the rail that blow's back is very lightweight plastic.
What others should know:If you like the Desert Eagle - you really wanna get one of these, It's powerfull like hell - But if youre a looking for nice blowback (realistic) action go with a Beretta PX4 storm instead :o)

Things I liked:EVERYTHING! This gun rocks!
One of the funnest guns I've ever shot!
Power, accuracy, blowback, able to add lasers & red dot sights, & very realistic.
I haven't chronyd it yet, but buy judging buy what's barely left of the peelets after I shoot them into a flat trap, I'd have to say this shoots WELL over 425fps! I'd guess it

Things I would have changed:Easier way to load CO2.
They include a tool to unscrew the cap for it, but a quater works great too!
A small price to pay to have the realistic look, with OUT anything hanging from the bottom of the gun. ;)
What others should know:If you're a collector it's a must have!
If you're not a collector but want one of the coolest & most fun pistols to shoot... BUY IT!

What others should know:I LOVE THIS GUN!! Talk about fun to shoot. If you are not into the polymer plastics as used on real firearms this gun is not for you. If this doesn't bother you, get one and you won't regret it. Shoots great with crosman premier wadcutters and beeman laser sport pellets. I did not purchase my pistol from pyramyd only due to its availabilty at a local sports store. I also put a bsa 30mm red dot with built in weaver rail on it. works great. Enjoy!!

Things I liked:It's really cool. Most people don't know what a Desert Eagle is so when they see this, they don't believe that a gun could be so big. The built in pic rail on the top is really convenient. The blowback is good and it's deadly accurate.

Things I would have changed:People say that it's all plastic. Actually, it's mostly metal covered with plastic. I wish they would have just finished the metal instead of covering it up. The trigger leaves a lot to be desired. The double action pull is long, stiff and difficult to use and the single action is just mushy and very light.
What others should know:The little wrench for the co2 chamber is annoying but I can live with it. This gun uses a lot of co2. I typically get about 30 full pressure shots per powerlet! People with small hands have a hard time handling this gun. I mean sometimes they can't even get their hands around the grip and still comfortably reach the trigger. Keep this in mind -- Oh, and go ahead and buy a scope now because this gun is way too accurate not to have one.

When the trigger is cocked, have a long travel, the only difference is in the weigh to pull it

Things I liked:I didnt give the DEAGLE a very good rating for a few reasons... We'll get to it later. This DEAGLE is accurate that I anticipated due to its 6" barrel. And its more powerful than I thought. The pointed pellets would sink all the way inside the wooden fence that im shooting at. And this is no new fence... I'm talking about dried hard wood fence, which I think is impressive. The blowback action makes it exciting and gives it a little recoil effect... not much... buts its fun. Isn't fun that we look for on replica pistols?
The trigger when cocked is very light, which is good to some and not so good to others. There is a removable picatinny rail at the bottom and a built in on top. So this means there are a lot of accesories that you can get for this pistol. I personlly dont use any scopes, lights or laser...
and now for the things you dont want to hear...
Things I would have changed:OK not for the nasty part...
This pistol is made of PLASTIC. But not just any ordinary plastic...It is made from polymer which is the same material they use for the real Glock and Walther P99's and the New Beretta Px4 Storm.
However, everything exterior is made of polymer... Even the SAFETY and TRIGGER... I could probably live with the safety being plastic, but the trigger? I hoped it would feel solid, but it didnt. I dont squeeze it too tight with the fear of breaking it.
The loading of the Co2 is another. I am impressed that the screw is concealed but you have to use a tool, which is provided, to be able to tighten the thightening screw for the Co2. And if you dont do it correctly the gun will leak and sometimes not even shoot.
What others should know:Bottom line...
Blowback is realisic.. but thats about realistic it will ever get...
